Got checked in and went to room and our key cards did not work. Got them re-done and was able to get into the room. Left and came back around 2am to go to bed and once again our key cards would not work. Went to the front desk and had to call the Clerk to come in from outside to assist me. The then states that my reservation/check in did not save from earlier in the afternoon. So I had to check in all over again in the middle of the night and get my key cards redone. When we got back into our room we found Dirty Towels behind the door in the bathroom. On the counter there was a mystery liquid that was sticky. I would recommend looking for other options if possible.

The photos on the website must have been taken years ago. The outside around the building and the courtyard were full of weeds and garbage. The pool is still not working. The downstairs rooms smelled awful and our room was not clean so we switched to an upstairs room when we arrived which was a little better. The rooms were okay but the sink had cigarette burns and parts of the carpet were crunchy. But there was hot water and the air conditioner worked. The lady that checked us in was very nice and I didn't get her name but the rest of the staff were marginal. We asked for new towels and they were given to us a few hours later unfolded since she didn't have time to fold them. Not a big deal but odd. All the linens had a funky smell. It appeared there were people living there that were a little sketchy. The chairs in the courtyard should have been replaced years ago. We would have switched hotels but went for a concert so everywhere close was booked. For the price it was tolerable but I wouldn't stay there again.

We stayed here one night for a concert. The lobby & outside of the building looked nice. The hallways to the rooms had a lot of areas that needed fixing, mainly paint & replacing trim. The room smelled almost barn-like. The floors were damp from humidity, which also made our clothes damp. The tub drain was plugged so the tub filled immediately when the water ran.

Breakfast was pathetic and coffee was empty at 9 with no refill. No safe in room. Front main door was malfunctioning.

I would not stay at this motel again it’s very loud at night I watch people break into a car the motel smelled like weed throughout the whole building. People were sitting everywhere in parking lot in lawn chairs it was just very odd for a motel. I’m assuming that people live there on a normal week and that is why it has more of an apartment feel.

They're trying really hard to make a nice property, but the pool and spa were both closed, the cleaning materials used in the public areas made me unwell, and I couldn't get sleep my last night due to the stuffiness of the room and feral children running in the hallway. There's a good beginning here but they have a way to go.

We booked a stay for two nights, mostly due to the pool. Upon check-in, we were informed that the pool has been closed for over a week. We get to our room and it reeks of humid musty air. Like the basement of a very old home. The drain in the sink Was clogged and black hairs came up out of the drain. There was mold on the ceiling and in the AC unit. The electrical outlet underneath the table was hanging by the wires. The bed, however, it was very comfortable, and the sheets were very clean. We did not stay the second night and it’s been five days and I’m still waiting for my refund that I was told I would get.

The Dakota is badly in need of renovation. The hall floors were filthy. There was no drain plug for the sink and the one for the tub was not attached. The wood on bathroom door was coming apart in several places. There was no iron and ironing board and there was no coffee pot in the room. When checking in, the staff person had her child there and she could not get any of my information spelled correctly, so check-in took way longer than it should have. And the parking lot needs to be repaved. I heard people outside of my room cursing profanities and I didn’t feel safe. I left as early as I could.
